Tool

I'm not an expert on the subject, I would just like to know if there's a tool to have the pronunciation of a word automatically. JacktheBrown (talk) 10:24, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

:@JacktheBrown I agree. The chart is totally useless. I did try to save it in the hope that I will someday decipher it, but all the words and signs mean nothing to me at all. I am constantly being frustrated by phonetic spellings that mean nothing. How does a person go about learning them? 2604:3D09:8878:4500:5170:2E8B:73DC:84E5 (talk) 15:55, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

Some missing letters.

Hi, I'm JakGuy and I want to say that ɞ, e̞ (ɛ̝), o̞ (ɔ̝), ɤ̞ (ʌ̝), and others are missing. I think someone would add them in the future!!! Do you agree? JakGuy1 (talk) 21:11, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

:Can their values not be inferred from the definitions of the base letters and the diacritics? —Tamfang (talk) 08:18, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

::Yes. Diacritics represent a change in the sound of the base letter. JakGuy1 (talk) 23:13, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

Andika issues on rendering IPA

Hi! As I remember, the font "Andika" misrendered the letter "unrounded open frontal vowel" /a/ as an "unrounded open rearial vowel" /ɑ/. Just for information. Sorry if I wrong. Thank you... 114.4.214.195 (talk) 09:03, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:You need to set font-feature-settings: "ss13" 1; along with font-family: "Andika";. Nardog (talk) 11:48, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Unable to save this page.

Why? It should be savable. I suspect there must be many more very helpful pages that are also unsavable. Can that be changed? 2604:3D09:8878:4500:5170:2E8B:73DC:84E5 (talk) 15:51, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
